This beautiful modern take on the boys is by Sayuri527

Don’t the boys look gorgeous?  I really love how Eskel looks and the way the artist echoed his usual armor in the shirt he’s wearing.

There is a ton more gorgeous work by the artist, all sorts of fandoms. Just be warned, some of it is beautifully naughty.

Absolutely sweet and beautiful image of our favourite Goat Dad, that I can’t find the original artist for.  But look at that gorgeous little goat face!

Edit:  A big thank you to @ana-kagetsu for messaging me and pointing me in the direction of this awesome artist.  Please go check out their other great art on DeviantArt!

Just a HUGE thank you to everyone that has followed and commented this year. I started this a year ago (anniversary popped up earlier this week!) because I kept seeing awesome Eskel art and wanted to collate it all in one place for my and other people's enjoyment. You've all been really awesome and I can't thank you all enough for loving this character as much as I do, as well as putting up with the other random bits thrown in. Onto a new year and hopefully more amazing art and stories from everyone!! <3

BTW, it's really awesome to see which images were everyone's faves this year. I totally don't blame ANYONE for that number 1! *wipes chin*

I already walked my dogs this morning (burned 54kcal) and now its time for exercise as long as I have energy.

The scale said 60,75kg at the time I woke up, I have hunger pain and Im pretty sure today I'll reach last monday weight. Im still bloated af and idk why, but I will resolve that. I was thinking about try again my favourite jeans but Im scared, even if I remember I was around this weight last time I took them out of the closet.

12:03 pm

Damn I feel so tired, but I burned 1200kcal.

The scale said 60,6kg so uh, ok? Now I have to prepare my lunch, I hope I will enjoy it without getting nauseous again. Im proud of what I did this morning btw, I hope the mood will not change later.

2:10 pm

Ate in a decent way, I ate some apple slices with condensed milk thwt has chocolate flavour, its pretty good and it has not too many calories so it can be helpful if I crave chocolate.

Mom wants a little cake so I'll make one.

5:45 pm

And I fucked up again. I cried for 2 hours.

Now Im exercising again, and I'll do it even after dinner. Idk if I'll eat something for dinner tbh.

7:35 pm

Im gonna eat only one red pepper. The scale didnt showed a gross number but still, I feel like I have to punish myself for having no control. Im gonna try again right before dinner so I'll decide if I can try some seitan...

I am so stupid, I didnt turned on the counter for the walk with dogs, but I made the same of this morning so its like...another 50kcal? I burned 1316 exercising and 272 walking, Im do something more after dinner but at this point Im ok? Damn.

9:05 pm

Finished dinner. The seitan was not like I imagined but it was not bad. I'll weight myself before I'll go to sleep. Tomorrow I want to try to make some oat meals, its not a common thing here but it will be a funny experiment for lunch. And for dinner I want to finish some tomato sauce that is delicious with a little piece of bread. Hope this will be enough. I want to try some recipes this weekend so I dont want to ruin everything again.

12:04 am

I know its another day, buuuut, I burned a total of 2500kcal today, even if I ate more than I planned (I should be less than 1000 but even if its over that its not 1500 and im sure of that) I burned every. single. thing. And I used small weights for a really short amount of time, just for take the last crumbles of energy from my body lmao.

Aaaand its 60,9kg! I hoped it was lower. Well, hope to see a change tomorrow.

YOOOO BNHA CHAPTER 272 IS WILD

TOTALLY!!

I just found it so hilarious that Shigaraki woke up in the middle of everything like "ugh I'm feeling cold" and then *whoosh* a whole freaking catastrophe happened in the matter of seconds.

These panels are so cool!

Btw Bakugou isn't paying respect to elders. One thing is being a punk and other is being a complete asshole, not cool at all.

Press f to pay respect, Crust saved Aizawa while dying with a smile on his face, he won't be forgotten.

Deku used like 40% of ofa and he seriously thought this little leg swing would stop the disastrous force that's Shigaraki's Quirk? Very funny.

I'm still not sure if Pixie Bob died? I saw some people pointing it out but who knows. I can't wait to see what's going to happen to everyone!

Just checked my search history and I've been on this site 151 times, and I'm a rising freshman. I think I have an addiction. Advice? This isn't a joke this is fr

Response from Cho:

Try cutting it down to just viewing it once a week! Honestly we don’t go through the questions quickly enough to have new posts every day, so I’m giving you the peace of mind by telling you to just check it once a week and that should suffice. Good luck going forward!!

Response from Aurora:

God this is so embarrassing to admit but I was addicted to this site too. I actually read through the entire site (like every day I’d go through a couple pages on the desktop website and one day I hit next and there was nothing... I think I was at like page 272, and each page has 10-15 questions so yeah lmao). So you’re not alone! Plus I now work for this tumblr so hopefully one day you’ll join our staff too :) Since you’re probably stuck at home, bored, and anxious to find out what TJ is like, it’s totally understandable that you’re on our page so much. However, it’s obviously not all that productive, but it’s also still more productive than being addicted to tik tok or Instagram.

I know this isn’t the advice you’re probably hoping for, but what worked for me was to become addicted to something else. After I finished reading this site, I found answers about TJ on Quora and became addicted to Quora (don’t go on Quora btw they changed the site and now it sucks). Then, after first semester of freshman year, I saw a FB post announcing that RealTalk-TJ was looking for freshmen staff members, so I assigned up. Ever since then I’ve been addicted to answering questions on here lol, and I also stopped being addicted to Quora. However, I don’t feel bad about it at all, because I’m helping people, so it’s actually pretty productive.  

There’s a lot of different productive things you can become addicted to. For a while, I was addicted to anything related to a language I was trying to learn (articles about the country, documentaries, memes, tiktoks in the language, etc.), so try learning a new language. You could try reading books or watching documentaries (I was obsessed with a series about the hardest paths to school on YouTube at one point) and have that be your new addiction. If you google something like “music beats maker” you can find a bunch of sites that allow you to make your own music, and that could also turn into a fairly productive addiction.

[antoine-roquentin]

An essay titled FEAR & UNbalanced: Confessions of a 14-Year Fox News Hitman by Tobin Smith offers an explanation of the ratings success of Fox News. Smith says he asked Roger Ailes, the then head of Fox News, about the target audience of Fox News. Ailes said it was men aged “55 to dead”, who look like Ailes, “… white guys in mostly Red State counties who sit on their couch with the remote in their hand all day and night,” and “They want to see YOU tear those smug condescending know-it-all East Coast liberals to pieces . . limb by limb . . . until they jump up out of their LaZ boy and scream “Way to go Toby…you KILLED that libtard!”

Smith says this is addicting: “…Visceral gut feelings of existential outrage relieved by … the thrill of your tribe’s victory over its enemy…” The technique for achieving this addiction is the same as in pro wrestling, where there are two characters, the Baby Face and the Heel. The Heel seems on the verge of winning, but the Baby Face triumphs in the end. At Fox News, there are two characters, the Libtard and the Hitman, both totally scripted.

The Libtard’s goal is to enrage the viewer by reciting liberal or progressive ideas in a predictable, smug superior way. The viewer already hates these ideas and the people who espouse them from listening to thousands of hours of right-wing radio.

Key Point: the viewer’s rage set their brain’s pleasure giving dopamine delivery system into high gear . . .and when their fellow conservative protagonist/tribal hero (aka me the hitman) turned the liberal’s own words against them and vanquished the sniveling apostate into living hell on live TV…WOW…the pleasure chemical rushed through the Fox viewer’s brain like a deep hit of crack cocaine (btw its the dopamine system in the brain that cocaine stimulates and makes it so addictive).

I’m pretty sure this isn’t just pop psychology, although I’m not quite sure he’s got the chemistry right. Here’s an article from Psychology Today, with further links for those interested. This paper says that dopamine/serotonin systems play a role in control of anger, as well as addiction.

Fox News isn’t the only entity out there dishing out tension and release. It’s a staple in the movies. Recently I saw a fragment of a 2008 Clint Eastwood movie, Gran Torino, in which three tall Black guys were pushing around a Hmong girl whose white boyfriend was spineless. Fortunately Eastwood drives by and intervenes with what looked like a .45 caliber pistol he just happened to have in his belt. The tension was palpable as the pushing around and threatening continued for several minutes with pulsating music, then was increased as the old white guy strode up and confronted the three guys, and then was released with the sudden appearance of the gun. This ridiculous movie grossed $272 million worldwide.

Another anecdotal example: how many of us have watched our dads get hooked on Fox News, like my dad did. His hearing and vision were bad, but he wouldn’t let anyone change the channel away from the Fox. He was always a bit angry about politics, but in his old age, he was remorseless. Here’s another anecdote.

We say movies like Gran Torino keep us glued to the edge of our seats; we mean we are waiting for the next tightening of tension and the sudden release. It helps me understand why Tobin Smith says that these old guys on couches hold that remote with a death grip; they want that fix.

Of course, media have always manipulated public opinion. But that at least was done with words, and could be countered, at least potentially, with smarter words. This is a simple manipulation of brain chemistry by a corporation for its own ends. It’s a psych experiment that would never be permitted by an Institutional Review Board.

Let’s put this in a larger context.

Bio-power and bio-politics are terms used by Michel Foucault to explain the way the state controls and defends its population. This recent essay by Rachel Adams posted at Critical Legal Thinking is a good introduction to Foucault’s thinking. For starters, recall that for Foucault “… power ts a relationship in which one person has the ability to guide another, to influence the behavior of another. This is an unequal relationship, but it is in itself neither good nor bad.”

According to Adams bio-power is the power of the State to influence the lives of the people it controls in a positive manner. She says Foucault describes two poles of power in the current era. One is the disciplinary pole, jail, mental hospitals; also, training the young in schools, banning noxious chemicals, and enforcing open spaces in cities. She quotes this from Foucault’s Will To Knowledge:

The second, formed somewhat later, focused on the species body, the body imbued with the mechanics of life and serving as the basis of the biological processes: propagation, births and mortality, the level of health, life expectancy and longevity, with all the conditions that can cause these to vary. Their supervision was effected through an entire series of interventions and regulatory controls: a biopolitics of the population. (Italics in original).

I interpret this to mean that issues of births and mortality, health, life expectancy, and the conditions that cause these, are properly the subject of politics in the current era, and that it is appropriate and necessary that the State provide a framework for making decisions about those outcomes and conditions. In other words, they become a proper subject of practical politics and of theoretical and scientific study. In a democracy, at least theoretically we all have a role in making decisions about these matters. Foucault makes it clear that such decisions should be made rationally, considering the possible outcomes of possible choices and selecting those that advance the values of the society.

Of course, it’s perfectly possible that the decision-making processes can be hijacked by people furthering only their own personal interests. This is how I view the Fox News crowd. The addiction practiced on their audience makes the target audience suckers for whichever candidate multi-billionaire octogenarian Rupert Murdoch chooses. That addicted audience is the people who now rejoice at the dismay of the libtards at the gutting of government and of health care and of all our international relationships.

It’s a new form of bio-power: the direct manipulation of brain chemistry for the goals of the people who control the vast capital pools in the private sector. It fits neatly into our oligarchy. Not all billionaires support all the garbage Fox spews about cultural issues, but they all support his economic agenda. And quite a few billionaires don’t really believe in democracy; they think they should make decisions about policy and infrastructure themselves. That’s the basis of their support for privatization, public/private partnerships for infrastructure, charter schools and deregulation, all of which are ways of displacing social control and inserting themselves directly in control.

the medium post in question compared the fox news style of a liberal going on to get roasted by a conservative to wrestling, but as somebody who spends a relatively large amount of time on social media, i think an apt comparison is the “dragging” phenomenon, where some low hanging right winger fruit gets insulted or proven wrong, and we screenshot the post and pass it around and feel like we’re doing activism. it’s worrying.
